Photo:MK meets Lakewood inventor of Warning Device to Prevent Child Car Deaths

New requirements aimed at ending the epidemic of small children forgotten and left to die in cars, United Torah Judaism Knesset member Uri Maklev, who heads the Science and Technology committee in the Knesset met with a Lakewood resident who invented technology that can help prevent toddler car deaths. The committee accepted several recommendations aimed at preventing the deaths of children forgotten in overheated cars, following a spate of such cases.
One of the proposals is a requirement for all car seats to be fitted with standardized technology that would alert parents should they forget to take their children out of the car. The requirement will be phased in over the next three years in Israel. In addition, Kindergartens across Israel will also introduce a new system for the new school year, whereby teachers and parents will have to notify one another if a child is absent without explanation.

President Trump relies heavily on their advice he says, they are from his most trusted advisers, should the need arise or something happens on shabbos the president has to to discuss it with them. So if an issue with North Korea crops up or anything that is of life and death Situation the president needs to contact them ASAP. He must have them to be avilable at his side at all times.

Kars4Kids Launches "Drive Human" to Promote Courteous Driving

Idaho topped the list as the most polite state in the country, with New York living up to its reputation as the rudest. What about Jersey? or Lakewood

LAKEWOOD, N.J., May 25, 2017  National nonprofit Kars4Kidz is launching a wide ranging awareness campaign ahead of the summer driving season to bring courtesy back to the road by reminding drivers they share the road with humans, not cars. The campaign leverages an array of media assets to promote its message, including video, new data visualizations, an interactive quiz, and bumper stickers bearing the campaign hashtag #drivehuman on Twitter.

The organization is distributing over 200,000 educational courteous driving guides to student drivers in New York and New Jersey in partnership with Empire Safety Council. The guide is available for download at http://www.kars4kids.org/drive-human, along with the rest of the campaign media.

Nurse union hangs signs around Lakewood

You may have noticed signs stapled on the electric polls around Lakewood.  Its from the NJ nurses union with an urgent message to patients and their families. It claims that Monmouth medical center southern campus is taking the registered nurses who work the regular units and floors and pulling them to the ICU to tend to critically ill patients. In order to work in the ICU you need months of training under specialized nurses who worked in the ICU. Currently the hospital at MMSC is pulling nurses who were never in the ICU before, to work there. The letter warns that these untrained nurses will be responsible for your family members in the ICU. Same goes with the Emergency room, pulling regular nurses to the Emergency room with no training in dealing with emergencies.

Dear Friend,

Hi, my name is Raphael I generally am not comfortable with reaching out to people for money, but after hearing my relative’s story I cannot stand on the sidelines and not do anything.

Unfortunately my cousin – a Lakewood resident- who has a full time job and has been supporting has family of 10 kids ke”h, came on to some hard times, and was recently evicted from his home because he couldn’t make his mortgage payments. The bank confiscated his home and he is now living in temporary accommodations. If his situation does not improve quickly he will be left literally on the streets with his wife and 10 children!!

Here is some spinner advice by HH at Toys for Thought:
Feel free to give your spinner a try in the store. Make sure that you dont hear a scraping noise and that the spinner is balanced. Cheaper spinners usually have cheaper bearings that may not work as smoothly. If the child has small hands, look for a smaller lighter spinner. New inexpensive small ones are on their way.

BOE meeting today, expected to vote no on the budget

With a supposedly 15 million budget shortfall the Lakewood BOE may decide to vote down the budget at todays board meeting. Officials blame the flawed NJ state funding formula for not addresing the unique situation in Lakewood leaving them with out their fair share. The meeting wll take place tonight May 8 , 6:30 pm at  855 Somerset Avenue, Lakewood. see meeting agenda HERE 
As it stands over 100 teachers will be laid off if the state wont kick in. Various community groups have united asking everyone to sign on to a petition calling on the state to fix the formula that will see more money flowing to help Lakewood public schools. There is a fear that they will try to raise property taxes and go above the allotted 2% cap. The district also revised the homeless student laws, where it is the obligation of the township to provide educational services to a homeless student based on his last known address. 
some of the items on the agenda:

80K for a audit
25K monthly retainer for legal services
6K monthly for cloud Voice mail service + 21k activation fee
24k security access control to maintain video services

80 years ago, airship Hindenburg burst into flames over New Jersey

AP On May 6, 1937, the German airship Hindenburg burst into flames at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey. Thirty-five people aboard and one person on the ground died. Ahead of Saturday’s 80th anniversary, the AP is republishing a version of its original coverage. It was reported from Lakewood.

LAKEWOOD, N.J. >> Its silvery bulk shattered by a terrific explosion, the German air liner Hindenburg plunged in flames at the United States Naval air station tonight, with indications that 34 of the 100 aboard and one spectator perished.
As minor explosions continued to tear its twisted aluminum skeleton and ribboned fabric for hours afterward, an official announcement listed as having survived 24 of 39 passengers aboard and 42 out of the 61 members of the crew, thus leaving a total of 34 unaccounted for. Twenty-four bodies were counted in two places, thirteen at the naval sick bay and eleven in the great hangar itself.
Timothy W. Margerum of Lakewood said there were more corpses in the naval station’s garage which had been hurriedly transformed into a morgue. Many of the dead were horribly burned by the oil fed flames. Margerum reported others were dying. Hospitals for miles around were filled with the injured.

Comment: There is a serious shaila going around about spinners on shabbos. When you spin the spinner it grinds the gears and a small amount of the metal gets rubbed off each time. It might be a serious shabbos issue

Why Rebbe/Morah should not ban the fidget spinner in the classroom

 LiveScience 

Kids love those fidget spinner toys. But are they too much of a distraction? Teachers are totally fed up with the Fidget Spinner craze and schools across the country are starting to impose bans.
This season's hottest toy is marketed as an antidote for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety and autism — but it's also being banned in classrooms across the country. The list of schools banning the spinners seems to be growing and now includes schools in Massachusetts, Brooklyn, New York, Florida, Chicago, Illinois, and even across the pond in Manchester, England.
"Fidget spinners" are small, ball-bearing devices that the user can rotate between his or her fingers. The momentum of the toy provides a pleasing sensory experience, according to user reviews. At least one expert is disappointed by the bans. "These little gadgets should be called fidget tools, not toys, and they can be part of a successful strategy for managing fidgety behavior if they are introduced as a normal part of the classroom culture," said Claire Heffron, a pediatric occupational therapist in Clevel
